Emamectin benzoate is an avermectin-derivative insecticide that activates glutamate-gated chloride channels in insect nerve and muscle cells. This causes an influx of chloride ions, leading to hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, irreversible paralysis and death of susceptible larvae. Emamectin benzoate is classified under IRAC Group 6 (chloride channel activators).
Sinner (Emamectin Benzoate 1.9% EC) is diluted in the recommended volume of water and applied as a foliar spray in cotton, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
